Hope For We Rat-Tailers

Blogs are the subject of the cover story of the new Citizen magazine, Pajama Warriors. Included is a passage destine to warm the heart of any blogger who, like me, toils away on the long rat tail of the bell curve that represents the blogosphere. It's from Joe Carter of Evangelical Outpost:

If you have a blog that is read by more than a few dozen readers, then you are making a bigger impact than you probably realize. If you have 50 people reading your blog, then you have more people in your classroom than most professors at Harvard. If you have 90 readers, then you have more people in your 'pews' than most pastors have in their churches every Sunday. And if you have more than 1,000 readers a month, you have a larger 'circulation' than most poetry and short story magazines.
